The secure SIGMA Pressure Test Software Network

Test systems connect wirelessly and securely, whether online or on your local network. Data flows directly into PDF reports and CSV files, with live exchange enabled via OPC UA.

Built-in cybersecurity ensures compliance with CRA and NIS2, while an integrated InfluxDB database mirrors test data in real time to your local server — from there, extraction to external data management systems is fully enabled.

SIGMA PLATFORM

Software platform for SCITEQ pressure test systems

SIGMA is browser-based test automation platform that makes intelligent pressure testing simple and accurate —fully compliant with ISO 1167, ASTM D1598, D1599, and equivalent standards.

It gives operators a simple way to set up recipes, start tests in just three clicks, monitor progress in real time, and generate reports instantly

    • Easy-to-use cloud-based interface
    • Start tests in just three clicks
    • Fast and simple recipe setup
    • Instant report generation
    • Real-time overview of test progress and system status
    • SQL database compatibility with a wide range of servers
    • OPC UA integration for industrial connectivity
    • Designed to support Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance

Secure remote access and service

SIGMA Software supports secure remote access for software updates, diagnostics, and service through internal Ethernet and external web access. With encrypted VPN connectivity and an integrated firewall in the site manager, the platform is built to provide secure and reliable remote support.

Its cybersecurity-focused design helps manufacturers prepare for the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) requirements entering into effect in 2027.

FLEXIBLE SOLUTION

Optional features

SIGMA Standard includes all features for testing according to ISO 1167, ASTM D1598 & D1599. You can configure your SIGMA solution according to your testing needs. SIGMA is the most flexible and cost-effective sotfware, offering a list of optional extra features helping you test even smarter. Opt-in and out as your need changes!

    • Auto-calibration (requires hardware add-on)
    • Emergency stop functionality (requires hardware add-on)
    • ISO 17025 compliant calibration
    • Back-up of the Influx test database. Enables automatic external mirroring of test data on own server.

Auto-calibration

      The auto calibration add-on allows each test station to calibrate itself automatically against a high-precision 0.1% FS reference transmitter, which would normally require external calibration equipment, and without stopping ongoing tests. The benefits are overall higher level of accuracy and on-demand pressure accuracy verification before each test. 

      This feature demands hardware installation.

      Emergency Stop — Fast, Controlled Test Shutdown

          The dynamic emergency stop feature for pressure testing gives operators the ability to immediately pause a station or trigger a full drain sequence, stopping the pump and draining the powerpack as needed. Rather than a simple on/off interruption, the system responds in a controlled way, bringing the test to a safe and immediate halt while managing pressure and fluid safely through the drain process.

          The main benefit is speed: because the ongoing test can be stopped quickly and cleanly, the station is ready for a new setup much faster than it would be with a standard manual shutdown. This reduces downtime between tests, minimizes the risk of damage or unsafe conditions when something needs to be interrupted, and gives operators confidence that they can react instantly without waiting on a slow or multi-step stop procedure.

          This feature demands hardware installation.

          INTEGRATION & CONNECTIVITY

          Compatibility and System Integration

          SIGMA Software generates PDF reports automatically and exports test data to CSV with live exchange enabled via OPC UA – or to external data management systems such as Pipeson software.

          The platform integrates with corporate IT systems and supports industrial communication standards. SIGMA Software is designed to support IoT environments and Industry 4.0 workflows, enabling connected testing.

          • Automatic report generation
          • Easy CSV data export
          • Integration with Pipeson Software
          • OPC UA support for industrial communication
          • Prepared for IoT and Industry 4.0 application
          • Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and NIS2
          • Integration with corporate IT systems and external data management systems

          Influx Test Database Back-Up — Your Data, Always Protected

          The back-up feature for the Influx test database enables automatic mirroring of all test data onto your own server. Instead of relying solely on the local database, test results are continuously and automatically copied to an external location that you control, creating a reliable, up-to-date backup outside the SIGMA system itself.

          The main benefit is data security and peace of mind: because the mirroring happens automatically, there’s no need for manual backup routines or the risk of losing critical test data due to hardware failure.
